And how can you ask "Is this my girlfriend's fault for reason A, or my girlfriend's fault because reason B?" Those are seriously the only options that have occurred to you?
I have low blood sugar, and when I am hungry I have a difficult time making decisions. The hungrier I am, the worse it gets, until I have difficuty finishing my sentences or carrying on a conversation. I have had sessions at work where I skipped breakfast and lunch, only to get the shakes late in the afternoon. I hand a coworker some money and say, "Please get me a sandwich. No, I don't know what I want." She knows what's up.
Just feed the woman.
Be careful with skipping meals. I'm terrible about it. But once I briefly fainted while driving on the freeway with my kids in the back seat almost surely because it was 4pm and I had not eaten all day. It was a busy day and I just didn't notice until I was starving.
I agree, just get food next time. Don't be nit picky. If I'm starving and tired, I want the quickest and easiest thing...not discuss options or go to the store and buy food to cook. Pull into the darn McDonald's and get me a burger darn it.
This is just such a tiny little blip unless she is doing it all the time. It's a little argument. They happen in relationships. And the gf wasn't totally in the wrong.
Bro, you need to start making decisions for yourself and allow her to make her own and stop panzying around. Take charge and make moves. You are the man, you are the provider. Say it with me- you are the man, you are the provider. Take charge and lead. You ended up do it anyway so you need to starting cutting to the chase earlier. If you guys are on a low carb/keto plan, you should have been better prepared.
P.S. you don't go on any extreme diet without having a plan. That was your first mistake.

To the people with this type of blood sugar issue:
Carry a protein bar in your purse or in the car, or small package of cheese, for what I call these "protein emergencies". Yikes, Bird, this is a scary story! Take care of yourself.
Ok, Let's all stop! This is an extreme form of dieting and requires discipline. There are no cutting corners. If you did not pack food or prepare according, then you are in deep doo doo. You should have been better prepared, period. You should know what you should and shouldn't be eating before you go out.
Your approach was fine to deny her the burger because of the nutrition value. However, you should have been more of a leader and motivator rather than passerby. START TAKING CHARGE IF YOU WANT TO HELP HER. You should have gone to Walmart, picked up the food and made it at the hotel. This is what follow-through is all about, not going to Mc D or KFC UNLESS YOU HAVE NO OPTION. But you had options.
My suggestion, get off this diet. You two have not the desired discipline and furthermore KNOWLEDGE of how to sustain a diet plan or else this would not have been an issue. If you were serious, Mc D would not have been an option considering the home cooked option. Get off this diet and leave it for those that know how to manage.
First off, let me say I hate McDonalds, haven't set foot in one in over thirty years. With that said, I would have just gotten her the burger then I would go somewhere else and get something I want. Definitely not worth having a big blow-up like this over.
Did you really need to make a thread about this? What was your purpose in creating this thread? Couples have disagreements. They get on each other's nerves from time to time. I certainly don't start a thread every time my husband annoys me. If this is the worst thing that you guys have dealt with - then consider yourself lucky. When my blood sugar is low and I don't get food in me - it's not a pretty sight.

She works! The OP wouldn't stand for providing for anyone. She has a job, I'm sure full time.
I'm a sahm and my husband works and that still doesn't give him the right to make decisions for me! Good lord.
